Preface to the Second Edition The international research regarding the thermophysical properties of water and steam has been coordinated by the International Association for the Properties of Water and Steam (IAPWS). IAPWS is responsible for the international standards for thermophysical properties. These standards and recommendations are given in the form of releases, guidelines, and advisory notes. One of the most important standards in this sense is the formulation for the thermodynamic properties of water and steam for industrial use. In 1997, IAPWS adopted the “IAPWS Industrial Formulation 1997 for the Thermodynamic Properties of Water and Steam” for industrial use, called IAPWS-IF97 for short. The formulation IAPWS-IF97 replaced the previous industrial formulation IFC-67 published in 1967.

  • Broad Beach Restoration Project Coastal Development Permit
    Broad Beach Restoration Project Coastal Development Permit Project Description FINAL PREPARED FOR: TRANCAS PROPERTY OWNER’S ASSOCIATION PREPARED BY: 3780 KILROY AIRPORT WAY, SUITE 600, LONG BEACH, CA 90806 JANUARY 2011 JOB NO. 6935 1. INTRODUCTION 2 Broad Beach is located in the northwest portion of the County of Los Angeles and within the City of Malibu. The project area is comprised of the shoreline area fronting approximately 80 homes spanning approximately from Lechuza Point to Trancas Creek. Broad beach has been suffering shoreline erosion over the past 30 plus years, resulting in an almost complete loss of recreation and public access. Public access through dedicated public access ways from Broad Beach Rd. to the beach was rendered impossible during the most severe storms and tidal action over the past few years. The severe erosion problem now threatens private property and dune fields along this stretch of beach. The Trancas Property Owner’s Association (TPOA), representing almost all of the property owners along the Broad Beach shoreline, has elected to address the extensive erosion by privately funding a beach and sand dune restoration project which will not only protect their homes but also restore the beach to its historic grandeur not only for their benefit but for the benefit of the public at large. The Broad Beach restoration project seeks to design, permit, and implement a shoreline restoration program that provides erosion control, property protection, improved recreation and public access opportunities, aesthetics, and dune habitat. Broad Beach Restoration – Project Description FINAL The vicinity and location of the project site are shown below in figure 1.

The Yunlin coast, a first-level protection area in mid-west Taiwan, was then used as an example to illustrate the proposed design criteria. The safety of the present coastal defenses and land use of the Yunlin coastal area was assessed, and coastal protection measures for hazard prevention were proposed based on the generated risk map. The results can be informative for future coastal management and the promotion of sustainable development of coastal zones. Keywords: coastal defense; risk maps; non-engineering measure; coastal vulnerability 1. Introduction Like most developing countries, Taiwan’s coast has been alternatively used for settlement, agriculture, trade, industry, and recreation without careful and thorough planning in the development stage since 70s.

During this period I was asked to provide recommendations to control the mosquito vectors of.the dog heartworm which were causing dirofilariasis among sentry dogs on Okinawa. This request led to a study of canine filaria­ sis and the .first report of Dipetalonema reconditum (Grassi) occurrence on Okinawa. I became keenly interested in this filarial worm and it seemed natural for me to continue my work when I came to Oklahoma.State University, particularly when I learned that Q_. reconditum had not pre­ viously been reported to occur in Oklahoma. I wish to express my appreciation to: the U.S. Army for making this research possible; Dr. D. E; Howell, Dr. S. A. Ewing and Dr. R. D. Eikenbary for their guidance throughout this study; Major D.
